Application mea August 2, 192e. serial No. 400,778.

To all whom t may concem:

Be it known that we, FRED C. BOYD and ALBERT J. BARNES, citizens of the United States, residing, respectively, at New Haven and West Haven, in the county of New' be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, and which said drawings constitute part of this application, and represent, in

Figure 1, a side view of an electric stove constructed in accordance with our invention and shown with the doors open.

Fig. 2, a similar view partly in central vertical section, illustrating means for vertically adjusting and swinging the supporting plate.

Fig. 3, a top or plan view showing the doors in the open position and the plates swung partly out of the drum.

This. invention relates to an improvement in electric stoves adapted either for cooking or heating, and in which a resistance or heating coil is arranged transversely so that heat below the coil may be utilized as well as heat above the coil. The object of this invention is to provide a stove adapted for domestic purposes with particular facilities for utilizing the heat below the coil, and the invention consists in the construction and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter described and particularly recited in the claims.

In carrying out our invention we provide a base 5 provided with feet 6. Supported by the base is a drum 7 of sheet metal and resting upon the upper edge of the drum 1s a resistance coil frame 8 additionally supported by vertical braces 21, and containing` the usual transversely arranged coils 9, the coils being connected with supply wires 10 and 11 in the usual manner. Preferably and as shown the coils will be covered by a grill 12 forming a support for a cooking utensil. The drum 7 is provided on one side with an opening, closed by doors 13 and 14. At one side of the base and preferably adjacent to the door 14 is a vertically `able rod mounted movable rod 15,

provided with a 1in eriece 16 and formed g p with annular grooves 17 more or less in number to receive the end of a transversely arranged set-screw 18, and connected with the upper end of the rod 15 1s a plate 19 which will swing in and out of the drinn by turning the rod 15, and which may be raised or lowered within the drum by means of the same rod and held 1n lts desired position by the screw 18 yet always free to be swung out of the drum.

he purpose of this swinging plate is twofold. First, when using the top of the stove for heating or cooking it is desirable to arrange a shield below the coil so that heat tending to pass downward will be deflected upward and this is accomplished by raising the plate 19 upward closely adjacent to the underside of the coil.

Second, to permit the contents of a utensil, placed upon the plate within the drum, to be examined from time to time, that is to say, a vessel 20 may be placed upon the plate 19, and swung into or out of the stove as occasion may require, and the plate may be raised or lowered according to the depthV Patented Dec. 28, 1920.

2. n'electric stove comprising a base, a

drum mounted thereon and provided with doors, a heating coil mounted upon the upper edge of the said drum, a rod mounted in the said base and adapted to be vertically adjusted therein and a plate secured t`o the upper end of said rod, and adapted to be swung into or out of said drum.
